A PLATITUDE ON srUDs.

There is something suggestive il
a short item now going the rounds
OF the press, to the effect that some
body over in California shipped 6
carload of oranges and one of DO.
tatoes to Chicago, and made more
money off the spuds than off the
"golden fruit"-they were Nevada
spuds too, grown on the Carson
river near Dayton, but California
gets credit for them all the same.
There is no spot under the sun
where such excellent potatoes are
raised as in Nevada. They are su-
perlative excellences when cult
waited by persons of experience, who
know just how and when to irrigate
them and when they are ripe. A
knowledge of these matters is inn
peratively necessary to the produc-
ton of perfect spud. Too much
water makes them dark and soggy;
with less than enough they become
coarse-grained or fibrous, and if not
dug at the proper period of ripeness
they are liable to shrivel up and
develope incipient rot that detracts
from their keeping qualities.
California may gloat over her
big navel oranges. but We'll take
the genuine bog orange every time.
There's solid nutriment in it, but
did it ever occur to any reader OF
the APPEAL that there's los of
money in it? There is, without
donbt. Nevada potatoes bring high
prices everywhere. If some enter
prising individual, with brains and
little money, should build dry
ng apparatus he would jump into a
arge and profitable business at |
'nce. Our desicated potatoes
would become famous in a short
lime. The deep water ships sail
ng from San Francisco would con-
'ume hundreds of tons of them
vearly. Isolated camps away from
abroad facilities, would call for
hem, and Nevada dried spuds
would be in everybody's mouth.
will start the business
ONE day and make fortune.

As speaks In Complimentary Terms.

Hon. Joseph H. Manley arrived in this citvi
last evening from trip to Washington. New
OK and Boston To a Journal reporter he
spoke as follows concerning the dead Gov
ernor:

Telegram announcing his death. II has been

ciated with him in several business enter
prises. knew him in a social yay. and
what was better still, knew him in his ow u
home circle. He honored me with his friend
ship, which was never broken.
His death is a very serious loss to our State.
he was man of high business capacity; he
had broad grasp and was firm believer I'M

FED State. He was never narrow and newer
saw failure in any undertaking. He was
thoroughly just and strictly honorable with hi ]
and never understood that language could
be used to conceal thought. Honest himself
he placed confidence in whoever dealt with
him, and it was great grief to him to ever
find his confidence misplaced. He was pub
lie spirited and gave freely of his means to-
(eyery public enterprise. Whatever
aided in developing the material resources
Sof his state found in him an earnest al vocate j
He always sought the advice of his friends,
but his own unerring good sense and judg-
rnent controlled his opinions. He never
sought public office and only accepted high
public trust from stern sense of duty. His
private life was model worshiped in his
family, beloved by his townspeople, respected
by citizens of the state. His private charities
were many and he freely gave to all who ap7
pealed to him. He was widely known I'M
business circles throughout the country, and

Hon. S. s. Marble has had wide expert

men in Maine more thoroughly know the
people of the State, all its wants and its var
ious interests, better than Mr.. Marble. He
has long been in public life, and has filed

4 GRASS WIDOW

This popular comedy was played last night
TO the irresistible delight of moderately
sized audience. The plot was skein al
first tangled, and then happily untangled by
the actors to the satisfaction of-the lovers
What act or which actor was most popular
would be hard to say; for while the audience
was deciding it was captivated by another.
IL may be safe to say, however, that Wing
Lung and Erasmus Spook created the most
merriment. Each played his part with de-
gree of naturaness that made it hard for the
spectator to realize the fiction. But while
we say this, we do not wish to be understood
TO derogate the acting of the others. If the
applause of the audience may be taken as a
criterion all were appreciated alike IN their
several parts.
